Chicago Bellboys "Frame" or Delegates—Arouse Prohibition Agents
Chicago, May 27 — The elder, grape juice, ginger ale and near beer beverages will flow during the G. O. P. national convention here beginning June 8, but the lid is on the hard liquor.
Government probation agents, aided by dry sleuths, were prepared to ensure closely what is drunk at the coming convention.
Reports that bell boys have formed a trust and agreed not to sell whiskey for less than $40 a pint have come to prohibition agents and the prospects of several of them getting jobs as bell hops was considered entirely probable to prevent any smuggling of liquor into guzzlers' rooms.
Soft drink "bars" are expected to do a big business. What space hasn't been grabbed by politicians for a headquarters has been taken over for convention week by soft drink sellers and confectioners.
There is a plentiful supply of whiskey and beer in Chicago, but this is mostly sealed up by the government and can only be sold on physicians' prescriptions. But local Republicans say they have some to spare for a few doctors and medical professionals William Hale Thompson, national committeeman from Illinois, may loosen the lid a little to allow delegates to have a good time.
Cabareters are to run full lit during convention week. The old tenderlake district, just south of the Cellisium, is taking on new life and the notorious 22d Street has opened several lively cabarets, with "drug stores" next
Here until the hour of five and six in the morning, men and girls can drink and shimmy without fearing interference.
Entire suites have been taken over by presidential candidates to entertain delegates and their wives. Convention week will be featured by scores of local hosts. Shopping tours will be conducted for the benefit of the women visitors.
Mayor Thompson intends to capit-lage the situation in every way. He insured the Pompeian room, at ben entrance to the Congress Hotel, and all visitors must pass his head-quarters, which will be emphasized by signs and banners with Thompson's name on them.

Admittance to Backers of Gompers and Allen Evenly Divided
New York, May 27—There will be no "packed house" to stumpde the debate between President Gormets of the American Federation of Labor and Congress, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow night in Carnegie Hall.

Alton Karakar will preside over the debate, and among those on the platform will be H. S. Stone and Michael Gorbat, members of the railroad union that participated in the late transportation strike.

LAST MEET OF SEASON
LAST MORE OF SEASON
Bradley Frost, this his usual field events and should be able to make competition keen for the opposing teams. While Rodkey and O'Leary in their races ought to be able to qualify. Chances to break any records should be good in this season, but what is probably their last meet of the season and for some of the competing men the last meet of their college track career. The only hindrance for some records being smashed are the facts that the number of contests will make the track crowded.
COMPETITION TO BE KEEN
Missoula is the favorite for the dashes and some of the field events. Mecahon of Nebraska is one of the best 440-yard men in the conference, and will run. Rodkey a good race, Solheim a shorthanded dash by Schultz and Gallagher, were in fourth at St. Louis of the Missoula in the mid-net at the indoor meet in Convention hall last winter. The Kansas team has not been able to clash with any of the northern teams this season and so does not know what to expect from that. Wattson the Aggie distance man should have no trouble in his match with Massey and McMurphy of the Kansas and the wonders their share of the balls in these races.

Incease will fill the "Robinson Oasis" with its heavy fragrant aroma, which along with the decorations from the court of Cleopatra, should lend an air of true wrigly harem *d* to the place. Tickets have been out for two weeks and are still on sale by members of the Sphinx Society.
